Spambots on TWHL? Created 10 years ago2014-09-28 15:45:46 UTC by Alberto309

Hey all.

I think the title says it all.
I now copy and paste a PM that a new user sent me the 12th September 2014 at 19:49 from missnancymiss. And this is her/his/its avatar:Here's the message, enjoy:

Good Day To You,
From Yours New Friend Miss Nancy, how are you doing today! i hope you are fine and in perfect condition of health, my dear i hope that every things is ok with you and your family's over there and i hope that every body that they are ok in good condition of health well my dear, i am Miss Nancy Ogwo like i said i am 24years old still single never married before I went through your profile today where am browsing in www.twhl.info and i read it and took interest in it,if you don't mind i will like you to write and reply me back here missnancymiss@yahoo.in , Hoping to hear from you soon, I will be waiting for your mail because i have something so important to tell you and i need a long and serious relationship here is my pics, my dear i want us to be friend's if you like to be my friend, from yours new friend with Lots of love My Dear i am Expecting Your Mail please reply me here missnancymiss@yahoo.in
From Miss Nancy God Bless You!

Though, where she/he/it says "here is my pics" I ain't seen anything, the only "links" are the email ones.
I'm not sure if that's a bot or whatever it is, but the message looks like the ones you see on the abandoned forums where you start viewing countless of threads about viagra and cialis, and where to buy them. Lol.

So, what do you think? Do I need to start thinking that TWHL has been attacked by bots, or is she/he/it is some kind of perverted stalker that started harassing me and I'll have to expect she/he/it to contact me again?

P.S.: A Penguinboy's opinion is greatly appreciated.

There is already a topic about it link i also got an email from "her"

I don't have any PMs from "HER". #foreveralone

Should've checked your spam email folder, too. I did, and found I did indeed have one from Lady Nanc. Course, being spam, I doubt its still there.

She ugly.

How rude.

She ugly.

Ice = broken.

She ugly. Or at least not attractive to me.

And still no PM to me! A head honcho of this site and I get no attention.

I'm so lonely

And cold

PMS is bad Kachito

I'd hit it. With a crowbar. Joins the mean bandwagon, well it is a spam bot anyways.

I think these things just attempt to target gaming websites because it's an assumption that gamers are lonely nerds with no social skills.

How's it supposed to end up a con anyway, with a message like that?

Someone should volunteer and write back so we can find out what that is about.

Considering the incredibly high probability of ending up in an unspeakable number of spam lists, I suggest using a disposable or not very important address for that.

But that might arouse suspicion, unless somehow that user were to get the spammer to send an email to that address first.

Hi, my email address is james.mcallen.gamervirgin@gmail.com
I love that my email address is james.mcallen.gamervirgin@gmail.com, as it perfectly describes me as being a gamer, who is also a virgin, as you can see by my email address of james.mcallen.gamervirgin@gmail.com.
Unfortunately, one thing that james.mcallen.gamervirgin@gmail.com does not adequately describe is how rich I am.
I, James McAllen, of james.mcallen.gamervirgin@gmail.com, am very rich. I have lots and lots of money, as well as multiple credit cards. As I am a lonely gamer virgin, I of course will be completely willing to spend that money on a lovely lady over the internet. I would be so interested in a long and serious relationship with a friend who gives me lots of love, especially if she is willing to give me pics while forgetting to actually link them.
Email me at james.mcallen.gamervirgin@gmail.com!

But Alberto got it as a private message, not as an email. So the spammer wouldn't know what address to expect an email from.

@TJB

I mentioned in the last thread though that I also received a message, although I had found it in the spam folder of my email address.
And I surely can't be the only one.

I've stated several times already that I did :rly:

There's a smiley for that ya know.



I have yet to be visited by the spam fairy.

It's because you're not interesting.

Ones into auto-cleansing spam folders are probably long since gone.

Hey, sorry guys but I was busy with a temporary job I've found. Thanks for your replies. Though I expected she/he/it was a spambot. Indeed I've never replied to the PM nor received any email (nor in the spam section).

And yeah: I totally agree with Urbeh.Also, am I wrong or even her/his/its english is ugly?
I mean, it looks like worse than mine...
